There have been 3 vehicular accidents on the Station Road bridge within the last couple of months.
At present the bridge is within a 60mph limit. A resident has contacted Helen Howard (Highways) to request that Highways consider moving the 30mph roundels to the B4525 side of the bridge in an attempt to slow traffic down as it comes towards the sharp bends of the bridge.
The proposal to reduce the speed limit at the bridge would be supported by paragraph 136 of the
Department for Transport’s “Setting local speed limits” guidance. It is understood that the request will be put before a review panel shortly and it was agreed that the Parish Council would support this request.
Action: The Clerk to write to Helen Howard expressing the Council’s support for the resident’s proposal.

• A maximum expenditure of £500 has been included for this project on the 2020-21 budget.
14.To consider proposals for the application of flood alleviation grant funding
The Floodwardens and Cllr Coatsworth have proposed a change to the flood alleviation plan. The following work is suggested:
• Hire of camera to explore the drain outside Bridge House – this is an important drain during heavy rain and has previously been found to be blocked.
• Install concrete lining in the slips along Grange Lane. These slips have not been maintained by Highways and they have become blocked.
• Fund a maintenance program to ensure that the slips are regularly cleared out.
It is necessary to check with the Pathfinder II team to ensure that we have their approval to redirect the grant funds to these new tasks.
Action: Cllr Coatsworth to provide the details of the new plans to Joanne Maddams for approval.
It was resolved to delegate the management of the £3000 grant fund to the Clerk in consultation with the Floodwardens so that work can be carried out without requiring further approval from the

Planning Development have requested that the village is consulted again: to be asked if they would support the planning application for the housing development IF the condition is made to give the freehold of the rest of the field to the Parish Council. If residents don’t support the housing development then the application is unlikely to be approved, as it is located outside the village boundaries.
